Susanne is best known for being a model in the 1980s. She also worked as an actress and played a small role in the American rom com Key Exchange in 1985. She featured as a guest on US TV show Star Search in 1984 as herself. Susanne met Dodi when she was 26, and he courted her by flying her to London at weekends by Concorde. It took a while for him to woo her and when she rejected his invitation to visit England for two weeks, he took action. The multimillionaire booked her as a model at Harrods so she would be unable to refuse. According to Vanity Fair, Dodi proposed to Susanne on New Year’s Eve in 1986. She has spoken about her ex-husband in a positive light in previous interviews.
